Avia Solutions Group, the world’s largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) provider, has partnered with DHL Express to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its international shipments.

The partnership leverages DHL’s innovative GoGreen Plus service to reduce the group’s Scope 3 emissions by using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Through the GoGreen Plus Basic Model, Avia Solutions Group has already reduced GHG emissions by 12.61% associated with DHL shipments, which translates to 30.6 tonnes of emissions between January and April 2025.

Demonstrating a group-wide commitment to more sustainable operations, the partnership involves a number of Avia Solutions Group subsidiaries across different sub-sectors.

Jonas Janukenas, chief executive officer of Avia Solutions Group said: “As a global aviation leader operating across six continents, we recognize our responsibility to contribute to more sustainable industry practices.

“By utilizing SAF for our large-scale logistics needs, we can prove the viability of this approach and nudge other aviation companies to take bold steps in order to minimise their environmental impact.”

Mindaugas Pivoriunas, managing director at DHL Express Lithuania said: “We are proud to support Avia Solutions Group in their commitment to reducing GHG emissions across their extensive network.

“The aviation industry’s path to net-zero requires collaborative efforts, and the wide adoption of GoGreen Plus shows the willingness of world-leading aviation players to fully embrace more sustainable practices.”

DHL’s GoGreen Plus service enables customers to reduce GHG emissions caused by their shipments through the use of SAF, which is produced from alternative feedstock with an improved sustainability profile such as used cooking oil or waste.
